Emily Goldman

BetaNYC

Emily joined BetaNYC in 2014 when she was doing fieldwork research in Brooklyn for her Ph.D, and began analyzing changes in Brooklyn’s stock of rent-stabilized buildings. The data had to be extracted from PDF documents, a project which brought her to a BetaNYC “Civic Hacknight” in June 2014. Ever since presenting her work then, she has been an enthusiastic member of BetaNYC’s leadership committee.

Emily believes that recent developments in opening data and in civic technology hold the potential for societal improvement, and she is continuously excited to participate in helping this mission move forward. Co-directing and teaching in the third year of the Civic Innovation Fellowship program is proving to be a very interesting and rewarding first position after her Ph.D.
